### 1/5 — Needs a skip option

*2026-08-05, version 1.1.3*

I was really enjoying this until I reached the laser puzzles on level 18.  I know exactly what needs to be done and what the rules are, but I am not physically capable of manipulating the fiddly controls within the very narrow tolerance of the mazes inside the building.  Past that point, it becomes a test of fine motor dexterity rather than the mental exercise that was advertised, and, as a result, I will never be able to finish unless I can find someone to play this section for me.

### 5/5 — Exceptional

### 5/5 — Maravilho, apenas joguem!

*2026-05-26*

Quando era adolescente costumava ficar HORAS jogando todos os jogos da saga, mas, por motivo de falta de armazenamento, vez ou outra desinstalava os jogos. Agora lembrei deles e ainda bem que achei. Partiu jogar todos novamente pra ocupar o espaço da nostalgia!!

### 3/5 — Bought the game

*2026-05-25, version 1.1.3*
